  "Turtle is a peer-to-peer architecture for safe sharing of sensitive data with full sender and receiver anonymity using only connections among trusted friends. This way, sharing information and transfering files is a kind of friendslist to trusted friends only. Technically, Turtle is a friend-to-friend (F2F) network - a special type of peer-to-peer network in which all your communication goes only to your trusted friends, and then to their friends, and so on, to the ultimate destination.
  
  In the Turtle overlay, both queries and results move hop by hop; the net result is that information or files are only exchanged between people that trust each other and the network connections among Turtle friends is always encrypted. Consequently, a snooper or adversary has no way to determine who is requesting/providing information, and what that information is. Given this design, your Turtle network offers a number of useful security properties, such as confined damage in case of node compromise, and resilience against denial of service attacks (for more details on this see the Documents section).
  
  Turtle friends can exchange information deemed "controversial'' or "risky'' (for example whistleblowers exposing government or corporate abuse) without being exposed to legal or economic pressure from parties that may want to censor or suppress this information. Such users are likely to be found in countries where the government routinely snoops on citizens' communications. It will also be attractive to people in all countries who value their privacy."
